Creating a positive environment involves preparing an appropriate, comfortable, and safe space where students can nurture their skills and thrive. Teachers should cultivate conditions that allow students to nourish their talents, harvest accomplishments, and enjoy learning alongside others. Maintaining a positive environment also means regularly refreshing and replenishing resources to help students continuously soar to new heights.
